regarding the ruling on a Qudsi hadith.

The questioner : There is a Qudsi hadith, the meaning of which is that whoever’s last words are “There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, there is no god but Allah, the One God, He has no partner, there is no god but Allah, to Him belongs the dominion and to Him belongs the praise, there is no god but Allah, and there is no power and no strength except by Allah,” the Fire will not touch him. I mean, is this hadith authentic? This is the summary of the hadith.

The Shaykh : “The Fire will not touch him,” I mean. As for the hadith with this exact wording, I do not know it. I do not think your question concerns the phrase “the Fire will not touch him”; rather, you are concerned with the hadith itself, specifically the phrase “the Fire will not touch him.”

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : I do not know, and I do not believe it is authentic in this form, based on the hadiths that have passed through our study. However, your question concerns the hadith in that it came with these specific words and this specific reward for the sake of these words, or do you mean something else?

The questioner : No, the hadith has a beginning. It says, “My servant,” I mean, something like that. It is a truth or something similar. The end of the hadith is definitely “the Fire will not touch him.” I am certain of that.
